With Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'s Switch release drawing ever closer, more and more purchase options are starting to pop up online and at various retailers. One such option, in Japan at least, contains an exclusive steelbook, and we can now feast our eyes on the case in all its glory thanks to a new video.
First teased a couple of months ago, this case features the stars of each game surrounded by artwork on both outside covers - Eevee is placed on a background which represents all of its evolutions, and Pikachu's cover contains balloons and a wave, presumably referencing the Flying and Surfing Pikachu variants found across various products in the Pokémon franchise.
The duo is also featured inside, with one side given to each mascot. Check it out below.
The steelbook is actually exclusive to one specific retailer in Japan, making it even trickier for westerners to get their hands on one. This purchase option comes from 7-Eleven, featuring your game version of choice, a Poké Ball Plus controller, an acrylic keychain, and the steelbook. The set costs 9,980 yen (approx. £69 / $90) plus tax.
Would you snap one of these up if it was available in your country? Or do you tend to import your favourite products from Japan anyway? Let us know your thoughts on this steelbook in the comments below.

99 Red Balloons (Eh... Colorful) from Pikachu ?
How random....
Ehhhhh...for once don't feel like we're missing out. That side, I do like how much more rounded those faces/character designs are now.
They don't seem to ship to Europe or do they? I've tried making an account, but you can only fill in Japanese postal code and such.
OH SWEET LORD. Those are gorgeous x.x
I want one but kno that I will never get one. Greaaaat. These region locked promotions irritate my soul. Womp womp
Because of course it's Japan exclusive. I'm honestly getting tired of all the cool stuff Japan gets. Some of it even being actual in-game stuff which is the most obnoxious of all.
I want steelbooks; but not Pikachu rage quitting a group of balloons
So bizarre to hear that these beautiful editions are a 7-11 exclusive. I'm going to take a wild guess that Japanese 7-11 is not exactly the same beast as American 7-11.
Very pretty though.
I'm surprised they didn't put two cartridge slots in it, one for each version.
Ill stick with the ones I have preordered already
Hey, I live in Japan and there is a 7-11 right down the road from me. I will have to look into this after work!
@ReaderRagfish don't worry there's water on both sides.
